The Globe. SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1876.

As the session of the Assembly approaches the political atmosphere is, as usual, thick with rumours of various kinds as to the proposals which! will be submitted for the consideration of the Souse. The colony has become so thoroughly accustomed to political surprises of late years, that in many quarters these reports are regarded as worthy of belief. They are so ; thoroughlyJu keeping with the past policy of the present Government that !we are not surprised at . the credence they have gained. First of all wer have it asserted, on what is said to be good authority, that the Government to prorogue Parliament a few days after it has met, in order to bring the Abolition Bill into force, and then, after a short interval; to

summon the House for the despatch of ordinary business. It is difficult to believe that there is any foundation for the rumour. We give Sir Julius Vogel and his colleagues credit for more political wisdom than the taking of such a course would imply. The recent-jslections have shown most unmistakably that the voice of the country is in favour of Abolition. On this one question the Ministry can reckon on the staunch support of a majority rin f, the House. So long as it is still undisposed of, the Abolitionist party will * continue to support the Government, who may thus be enabled to tidC.the session:, safely over. But were* this question ; settled, the fate.of the Ministry woum'' become ex;ceedikigly AliMjjf the cloud has grown much larger than a man’s hand, which may soon overwhelm them in ruin. We have only ,to,refer to jfcbeikiand :the North their to levy a contribution frbrn the unra" fund for the payment of the interest on the railway loans, to shos /tjie immir minent danger in which they ard placed. With Abolition .disposed -of, those questions would be discussed dw their merits, and an entirely fresh arrangement off .parties be the result. -»>*- # # - A Again, even were the, position of the Gov perfectlyasaured, yte can see no advantage to any one in the l 4 would baii ton- , A or subterfuge, and would embitter the Provincialist party, andj-giveithem an excuse for . rf3repetitioifjof Jthe structiohist policy of the l^?t r session., The proposal would be sUite-'tAgive' rise to a long and animated debate, inthe course of which rthe might ■be lost sight of, and might end .with the f 4efe|d£ of . the .
